japanese sword blades are beyond all COM
parison the best now manufactured and are
said even to surpass the famous Toledo and
Damascus blades of the Middle Ages for fine
ness of temper and keenness of edge. A Jap
anese soldier has no difficulty in cutting a
pig in two in single blow; and bars of lead
or iron have been similarly severed without
leaving a notch or imperfection of any kind
on the edge. These swords are equally re-
markable for their power of cutting light and
single hair. One Of peculiar excellence is
preserved in the Satsuma family, with which
q leaf floating down q stream can be cut in
two merely by being allowed to drift against
the edge. It Is claimed that as swordsmen
but they are still sufficiently skillful, when
armed with these splendid weapons, to prove
formidable antagonists in hand-to-hand
fighting.-New Orleans Tsmss- Democrat.

Lullaby.
Buck BLUNT.

Lullaby
Tread lightly where my lady lies,
For she has closed her pretty eyes,
And fall'n a-slumbering.
She seems more tender than the flower
Whose petals fold at sunsets hour;
So still she lies and scarcely breathes,
Quiet as little bird that sheathes
Its head within its wing.
You may go search thro' glade or grove,
You'll find no daintier lady-love
In ours or fairy-land.
And this is why her dreams are sweet,
She hears the fairies pattering feet,
And sees them circling round and round
And they her resting place have found
And by her wondering stand.
See. they have hailed her "fairest fair"
And crowned her queen Of revels there
Where mortals may not tread.
The great red sun has rolled away,
But dewdrops bright and glow-worms gay
Shine glimmering down the pearly hall
Where the merry folk hold carnival
And the fairy feast is spread.
Now let us make this roundelay,
1.-THE cynic's head Is soonest gay
And . simple hearts prize.
For fairies watch round every one
That lives and laughs and loves the sum-"
This song wen sing her when she stis.'
But while she sleeps sweet dreams be hers,
Tread lightly whore she lies.

Air too Thin TO Breathe and Fish that
Kill Horses.
DR.. Henry H. Rosby, of Detroit, has
recently returned from q years tour
through Chilli and Bolivia with a large
collection Of skins, relics, plants and
mineral specimens.
DR.. Rosby's adventures were many and
interesting, and in due time will be given
to the world in book. He did battle
with the Caripuna Indians and the man.

the filthiest city this side of Constantine.
pie, took his daily dose of quinine like a
little man, and saw the place where B..
100000 cinchona trees are growing.
From all this he came out much the
worse for wear, but still full of enthusi-
asm and confident that out of the 300
native drugs he had examined two or
three would prove superior to the similar
remedies now known to the medical pro-
fessiOn.
He crossed the Andes with much trib-
ulation. He says:
Our journey from Tacma was one Of
terrible suffering. 1t was upon a high
table-land, reaching an elevation of 18,5OO
feet, and for five days we journeyed at
an average elevation of 14,5O0. The air
was SO rarified that we suffered much
from sorocho, the chief symptoms of
which were difficulty in breathing, pros
trating muscular weakness, and bleeding
at the nose and ears. We passed the
beautiful volcano of Tacosa, which dis
charges across the road river, the water
of which is fatal to human life. Men
often commit suicide on the table land,
they suffer SO much from sorocho. There
is also great danger from lightning, which
is frequent and violent. AT one time
three members of party in which was
were prostrated by lightning and fourth
was stricken blind for eleven days. The
wind is 80 violent here that trees cannot
grow, and the vegetation is mat-like,
closely hugging the ground"
Among the wonders which the doctor
met was half-pound fish, SO sensitive
that it attacked anything which caused a
commotion in the water, and so fierce
that it would kill horse or man in cross
ing stream 100 feet wide. He found a
tribe of Indians so virtuous that they tied
the unfaithful to ant trees, and the little
insects would eat them alive, stripping
the bones in less than twenty-four hours
In brief, he had great time.

The Drake Monuments. :,

In further explanation of his suggestion Of
a monument to Sir Francis Drake, the very
first English-speaking pioneer who landed
on the coast of California, to be placed on
the summit of Strawberry Hill, the highest
peak in the Golden Gate Park, Mr.. Horace
F. Cutter writes to the San Francisco Argo-
naM: "My idea would be tp have erected an
open temple of say seyenty-five feet in
height, of four or more pillars with bur-
nished dome surmounfed by glistening
sphere, which would be visible far out at
sea, and emblematical of the globe around
which he had SO successfully sailed his little
bark and in the interior, on Q pedestal, a
bronze statue of the circumnavigator, to be
of heroic size and clad in the. picturesque
costume of that period, naval or military
(rather than that of the courtier), as he went
forth, after conquering at that famous game
of bowls, on that glorious afternoon, as vice
admiral of the fleet which was to vanquish
and drive away the arrogantly styled In
yincible Armada"

1. For the setting forth of virtues (actual
or alleged) Of presidents, general managers
or directors, % per line for the first insertion
Q. For puffs expressed in choice English,
with occasional French phrases or poetical ex-
tracts (the whole with a palpable motive of
honest enthusiasm), ~ 30 per line fifty per
cent. reduction on each subsequent insertion.
8. General passenger agents and division
on the terms offered in rule No. 1. But in all
cases where the title of colonel is used regu-
lar first-class rates will be demanded.
4. Thousand mile-tickets on the basis of 2
cents per mile will be received in exchange
for advertising done at our card rates. but
these tickets must hold good on passenger as
well as on freight trains.
8. No deviation from the card rates can be
made in favor of parties handing us scent
cigars with the puffs they desire published.
9. For complimentary notices of the wives
and children Of railroad officials, we demand
81 so per line. We have on hand, ready for
immediate use, a splendid assortment Of this
Z. Poetry will be made to order at e3 per
inch, agate measure. We are prepared to
supply fine line of heptameter puffs, also a
limited number OF sonnets and triOlets, in
exchange for !, 1,OOO-mile tickets. Epic poems,
containing descriptions of scenery, dining
cars, etc., will be published at special rates.
8. General superintendents sending re-
quests for the suppression Of news must &C
company their requests with 90 bills-not
necessarily for publication, but as guaran-
tee of good faith.
